MOMBASA, Kenya (AFP)—A self-proclaimed Kenyan preacher and his associates were on Monday found guilty of murdering 190 children and one adult in an infamous starvation cult.
Hundreds of bodies have been discovered since 2023 at the cult base inland from the Kenyan beach resort of Malindi, in what became known as the “Shakahola Forest Massacre”.
Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie was alleged to have incited his acolytes to starve to death in order to “meet Jesus”.
